LOL! I just spent five minutes looking for something along Peachtree Road (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=peachtree+rd,+balch+springs,+tx&spn=0.053646,0.088062&num=10&start=0&hl=en)... in Balch Springs. It crosses Gross Rd, Military Pkwy, Scyene, Lake June, Elam, and Seagoville Rd, but I couldn't find a Stratford Street. :)

I would imagine that Dallas will see taller residential buildings in the future, the city is still playing catch up in the highrise residential game.

Sweet building!

There's something about the design of buildings in Atlanta. They just seem to be so classy looking. Maybe it's just me.

[DalLove444]

[hamiltonpl]

That is an amazing building. Dare I say it? It looks better than the Ritz.

[Geaux Tigers]

Dallas-based Rosewood Hotels & Resorts Set to Operate 5-Star Resort


A Dallas luxury hotel operator is spearheading a towering new development in Buckhead.

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts LLC is in talks to operate a planned 52-story boutique luxury hotel and condominium at the Peachtree Stratford site, the former location of the Art Institute of Atlanta, in Buckhead. The developer of the project is City Centre Properties, an Atlanta firm with ownership ties to former Post Properties Inc. CEO John Williams.

This is the second major new hotel planned for Buckhead this year, and will compete in a burgeoning upscale hotel environment that includes Atlanta staple Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead and the recently opened InterContinental Buckhead. The project, which is expected to start construction in the first half of next year, also will tower over a planned boutique hotel run by St. Regis in the Buckhead Village, behind One Buckhead Plaza.

Clark Butler, a principal with City Centre Properties, declined to comment about the project. But details of the building - dubbed The Mansion on Peachtree--can be found at its Web site at www.citycentreproperties.com.

At 580 feet tall, The Mansion will contain 124 hotel rooms, 43 condos, three “garden villas,” two unnamed restaurants and a 15,000-square-foot spa, according to the Web site. A source familiar with the plans said that City Centre will own the property with Rosewood acting as the hotel operator. A Rosewood official confirmed the company’s plans for an Atlanta location, but declined to comment further. Rosewood has 17 five-star hotels around the world, including The Carlyle in New York; Acqualina, a 51-story beachfront hotel in Sunny Isles Beach, FL; and the Al Faisaliah Hotel and Hotel Al Khozama, both in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

ATLANTA-Touted by developer John A. Williams as the tallest building in Buckhead, the under-construction Mansion will be a $165-million, 50-story, mixed-use structure that will have a luxury hotel and 42 residential condo homes. The development is now rising on Peachtree Road at the former site of the Art Institute of Atlanta.


Area marketers familiar with the project tell GlobeSt.com the Mansion the Mansion will be about 200 feet taller than Buckhead’s current tallest building, the 486-foot, 44-story Park Avenue Condos built in 2000. The tallest building in metro Atlanta is the 55-story Bank of America Plaza at 1,023 sf, according to city planning department staffers. The 60-story SunTrust Plaza, built in 1992 at a height of 871 feet, has the most floors at 60.


Williams, the former chairman of locally based apartment and condo developer, Post Properties Inc., and Arthur Blank, co-founder of Home Depot Inc., are co-investors in the Mansion. City Centre Properties is the developer. The $100-million Williams Equity Fund, founded by John Williams, is funding the project.


Condo prices at the Mansion are expected to start at $3 million. That still won’t make the property the most expensive in the Buckhead district. That honor, to date, goes to Regents Park at Peachtree Battle, also on Peachtree Road. Regents Park condos will start in the $4-million range, area marketers tell GlobeSt.com.


Another nearby high-end condo venture, the St. Regis Hotel and Condominiums at Peachtree and West Paces Ferry roads, will have homes starting at $2.5 million, as GlobeSt.com previously reported. Locally based Carter is developing Regents Park at Peachtree Battle

How is the water situation affecting development in Atlanta? With what I've heard, I sure wouldn't want to spend my (theoretical) megabucks there.

Eased restrictions now. They don't "need" a fraction of the water we get here so that works out well for them.
